Math Problem Statement

What is the result of adding the polynomials (2x^2 + 4x + 3) + (3x^2 - 2x + 3)?

Solution

To solve the problem:

The given polynomials to add are: (2x2+4x+3)+(3x22x+3)(2x^2 + 4x + 3) + (3x^2 - 2x + 3)

Step 1: Combine like terms

  1. Combine the x2x^2 terms: 2x2+3x2=5x22x^2 + 3x^2 = 5x^2

  2. Combine the xx terms: 4x2x=2x4x - 2x = 2x

  3. Combine the constant terms: 3+3=63 + 3 = 6

Step 2: Write the resulting polynomial

The result of adding the two polynomials is: 5x2+2x+65x^2 + 2x + 6

Final Answer:

The correct choice is A: 5x2+2x+65x^2 + 2x + 6.
